This is the final part of the PMO 101 Summer School webinars  which will look at permanent programme offices and portfolio office that support multiple project or programmes at a delivery or strategic level.

To learn more about and view the first webinar in this series recorded June 21st 2016 check out our article PMO 101 Summer School: Programme & Portfolio Offices Part 1.

The purpose of the PMO 101 Summer School webinars is to provide practitioners and those new to PMO with an understanding of ‘what the P stands for’.

This second webinar will look at permanent PMOs that are set up specifically to support multiple projects and programmes at a delivery level or at a more strategic level across a whole portfolio.

The webinar will cover the purpose of the PMO, the typical roles within the PMO and some of the challenges they face and tactics to overcome them.
